Divine Shield
"The first time the Monster takes damage it is ignored."
If used by your opponent, Blast, Return Fire, Thorns, Magic Reflect and Backfire can all count as the first attack
Notable Rulesets
| Top 3 Rulesets | Bottom 3 Rulesets |
| Super Sneak - While your opponents monsters are focused on your last monster, the others keep their divine shield, this might be the edge you need to win! | Explosive Weaponry - Adjacent monsters to the target will have divine shield removed by the blast impact |
| Weak Magic - increase the odds that your monsters will last longer in battle by providing an additional shield | Fire & Regret - damage taken from return fire will destroy your divine shield |
| Equal Opportunity - Draw your opponent in with sacrificial, low health monster. While your more deadly monsters strike to kill | Counterspell - damage taken from magic reflect will destroy your divine shield. Consider this when including a Magic monster in your lineup. |
Notable Abilities

| Stun - Prevent your enemy from attacking, buying yourself more time to destroy them. | Poison - If your opponent plays a monster with poison, be aware that your monster will still be impacted even if divine shield is in place. |
| Immunity - grants your monster immunity to negative status effects. When paired with Divine Shield the protection allows them to live longer - dealing out more damage! | Return Fire - damage taken from return fire will destroy your divine shield. Be aware that your opponent may use this ability to render your Divine Shield useless! |
